In 2017, we've seen America evolve into a bitter bickering between Democrats and Republicans. The political parties that American people choose to believe in have time and time again betrayed the trust of their members and their blind allegiance have created an atmosphere where citizens are willing to overlook the flaws of the system for the good of their party.

But where does that leave America?

Unless you're completely out of touch with what is happening around the world, you should know that America is kind of, sort of, a total shit show right now.

Roy Moore, a man who had at least eight women accuse him of sexual assault, is currently running for Alabama's state senate. Moore isn't just problematic because he's racist, sexist, homophobic and islamophobic, but now has repeatedly been accused of sexually assaulting women. The leader of the free world and the Republican party has yet to condemn him, instead stating "He said it didn't happen."

Now I'll give credit where it's due, multiple prominent members of the Republican party, such as Mitch McConnell (R-Ky), John McCain (R-Az) and Paul Ryan (R-Wi) have called for Moore to drop out of the race, but it's not enough.

Since Regan, the right side's platform has mostly been based on family values, and here we are 30-something years later, and America is wondering when those values were thrown out of the window.

Kelly Conway, a White House counselor went on live TV and instead of denouncing Moore and urging voters to vote for an alternative choice, Conway repeated how important it was for Congress to have another Republican senator in order to pass the Tex reform bill.

Why isn't every single person in Congress crying out for justice for the victims? Hint: It's because it doesn't benefit them.

The Democratic party is just as bad. Known to be the champions for women and their support of equality in the workplace, once again, one would think that every member of the party would stand up and denounce those among them who have been accused by multiple people of sexual assault. Nancy Pelosi (D-N.Y.) the minority leader of the House of Representatives, chose to praise Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) amid (yup, you've guessed it!) sexual assault allegations.

Have other Democrats called for Conyers' resignation? Yes, but once again it's not enough.

Sexual assault is not a partisan issue, but a problem that America, Congress and the White House need to address - they to commence legislation that gives a voice the victims. We can no longer accept an America where victims are silenced for years, afraid of retaliation by their assaulter and shaming by those who are thoughtless enough to place the blame on the victim.

Americans need to have a reality check, instead of dedicating their devotion to political parties. Americans need to place that faith back in our country, never putting political ideology ahead of what is undeniably the right thing to do.

Political parties will always put their interests ahead of America. Their false morality can no longer be relied on.
